Hot take: Modern wireless sensors are too sensitive for their own good

I swapped out a panel last Tuesday and the new motion detector kept tripping on a vent blowing air. Old hardwired units could handle a little draft, but these new ones act like a cat just walked through. Anybody else just stick with the old gear in certain spots?

Man, I had one that kept going off because the furnace kicked on every morning.

Blamed that cheap smoke detector for way too long before I figured it out. Felt like a real dummy when the HVAC guy told me what was happening.

Seems like a stretch blaming the sensor for a draft.
